UJobe 19

₂“Koze kube nini nihlupha umphefumulo wami,

ningiphohloze ngamazwi, na?

₃Seningihlazisile kayishumi;

aninamahloni okuthi ningiphathe kabi na?

₄Uma impela ngidukile,

ukuduka kwami kukimi ngedwa.

₅Uma impela niyazikhukhumezela kimi,

niphikisane nami ngehlazo lami,

₆yazini-ke ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungihlanekezele,

ungihaqe ngenetha.

₇Bheka, ngikhala ngithi: ‘Ngubudlova!’

Kepha angiphendulwa;

ngicela ukusizwa,

kodwa akukho ukwahlulelwa.

₈Uvalile indlela yami ukuze ngingabi nakudlula;

ubeka ubumnyama emikhondweni yami.

₉Ungikhumulile udumo lwami;

ususile umqhele ekhanda lami.

₁₀Ungidilizile nxazonke, sengimukile;

usiphulile ithemba lami njengomuthi.

₁₁Ungivuthisele intukuthelo yakhe,

wangishaya njengezitha kuye.

₁₂Amabutho akhe afika kanyekanye,

alungise indlela ukuba angisukele;

amisa nxazonke zetende lami.

₁₃“Udedisile kimi abafowethu,

nabazana nami sebahlukene impela nami.

₁₄Izihlobo zami zingishiyile,

nengazana nabo bangikhohliwe.

₁₅Abagogobele endlini yami

nezincekukazi zami bangishaya umfokazi;

ngingowezizwe emehlweni abo.

₁₆Ngibiza inceku yami,

kayingiphenduli;

ngiyayinxusa ngomlomo wami.

₁₇Umoya wami mubi kumkami,

ngiyanuka kubantwana besisu sikamame.

₁₈Yebo, nezingane ziyangidelela;

uma ngivuka, zikhuluma ngami.

₁₉Ababeyizifuba zami bayanengwa yimi;

labo ababengithanda sebengifulathele.

₂₀Amathambo ami anamathela

esikhumbeni sami nasenyameni yami;

ngisinde ngokulambisa kuphela.

₂₁Ngihawukeleni, ngihawukeleni,

nina bangane bami,

ngokuba isandla sikaNkulunkulu singithintile.

₂₂Ningizingelelani njengoNkulunkulu,

ningasuthi ngenyama yami na?

₂₃“Sengathi amazwi ami angalotshwa!

Sengathi angabhalwa encwadini,

₂₄aqoshwe edwaleni ngepeni lensimbi nangomthofu,

kuze kube phakade!

₂₅Kepha mina ngiyazi ukuthi uMhlengi wami ukhona;

ekupheleni uyakuma othulini.

₂₆Nalapho sesishabalele isikhumba sami,

ngiyakumbuka uNkulunkulu ngikhululekile enyameni yami,

₂₇engiyakumbona uqobo lwami;

amehlo ami ayakumbona,

kungabi njengomfokazi;

okuphakathi kwami kuyaphela esifubeni sami.

₂₈Uma nithi: ‘Siyakumxosha yini pho!

njengokuba impande yendaba ifumaniseka kimi,’

₂₉yesabani inkemba,

ngokuba ulaka lungolwezono ezifanele inkemba,

ukuze nazi ukuthi ukwahlulelwa kukhona.”
